About the Instructor:

Hilary Walsh (she/her) is a multidisciplinary mover and storyteller. She began her artistic journey through dance and then later fell in love with circus, taking her dancing to the sky. Hilary is curious about how we share our stories through movement. In her everyday life, she is an occupational therapist and is a graduate of the Centre for Dance Therapy at Les Grands Ballets in Montreal. Her goal is to continue to explore movement as a way to connect and create shared meaning in therapeutic settings and to promote health and well-being.
